- Is the voltage greater than 10 volts?
  - Yes : GO to E2.
  - No : REPAIR circuit 29S-LK34 (OG/BK) for an open. TEST the system for normal operation.
E2 CHECK FOR CORRECT ACM OPERATION
- Disconnect all the ACM connectors.
- Check for:
  - corrosion
  - damaged pins
  - pushed-out pins
- Connect all the ACM connectors and make sure they seat correctly.
- Operate the system and verify the concern is still present.
- Is the concern still present?
  - Yes : INSTALL a new ACM. REFER to INFORMATION AND ENTERTAINMENT SYSTEMS . TEST the system for normal operation.
  - No : The system is operating correctly at this time. The concern may have been caused by a loose or corroded connector.
